    Warning - 3 yards cleared out completely - Leeds

    Funnily enough, when our car was stolen and recovered minus the bag full of headcollars etc that had been in the back, we went to Holmfirth and bought them back! We couldn't do anything about it because there was no way to prove they were ours, obviously you know your own stuff, the little...

    Items stolen from Yard robberies in Leeds overnight 21/22 Dec

    It was the taking of feed, including bins, part used bags, hay ect, that has confused me, that doesn't seem to be the way dedicated tack thieves would operate. I hope you manage to track down your things, it seems to be rife at the moment. We are lucky to have nothing worth taking at our place...

    Items stolen from Yard robberies in Leeds overnight 21/22 Dec

    Some of this stuff is very identifiable, have copied and pasted from a local page: Amongst hundreds of other items taken from Springfield Equestrian in the burglary in early hours of Monday morning there were so distinctive items. Its a long shot but if anyone spots anything similar to these...

    For those who PTS on behavioural grounds

    It is very hard decision to make, one that I almost made some years ago and then found a way around it, the pony is no longer a danger and I feel blessed that he is still living happily in his herd. If you know it is the right decision, even if you are a little unsure because of the enormity of...

    Facebook - Horse shot by livery owner

    You said it all really, it isn't about the money/value, it is about the penalty given by the Courts. CPT started the petition following the shock and upset at the beginning of the thread, and the total disbelief of so many that criminal damage would be the only avenue open to the police if...

    Petition for the law to value animals properly

    I don't think it is necessarily about monetary value, what money could make you feel better about your precious animal being deliberately killed by some nutter who just feels that way out that day. This could be yard owners shooting your horse over a paltry sum, thugs finding your cat wandering...

    Petition for the law to value animals properly

    Gutted at the low response on this petition. Fabulous opportunity for horse owners to get involved in the attachment to our animals being taken into account in the eyes of the law!

    Facebook - Horse shot by livery owner

    ooh Wagtail, depression was mentioned, and YorksG, yes, he did offer to do the deed for us. I was incredibly disappointed by the whole thing as he came very highly recommended by someone I have a lot of respect for. It was a waste of money and, had I been easy to persuade, would have ended the...

    Facebook - Horse shot by livery owner

    Funnily enough, and I very much doubt it is me you are talking about, he pretty much told me the same thing about my pony. I had just been wondering how many other people he has told this to when your post popped up, anyone else? He went off my yard having convinced me he was a total fake...

    Zoe Snape saddle pads - very poor service, anyone else had this

    Finally received the saddle pad, numnah and the stirrup irons after sending yet another angry email but no girth. I emailed to say the girth was missing and finally got an apology, along with a promise to sort it out, here we are a full week later and I am still waiting for it! I am absolutely...

    Zoe Snape saddle pads - very poor service, anyone else had this

    I haven't posted for a while but am so upset about this and thought this would be the place to find out whether I have been well and truly conned or not! I ordered a saddle pad from Shetland Showing Tack, sold as a Zoe Snape saddle pad, along with a girth, numnah and peacock stirrups, in the...

    Restarting schooling on an older horse

    This, and remember you can do quite a bit of schooling whilst hacking, just to get the horse back into holding himself correctly, which will make schooling in an arena easier for him.
